16 - Zoning Change Two-Family District to Multi-Family Dwelling District Block 227-C Lots 1-1A and 1B 1900 Block of E. Booth Street - petition of Skyler BurchinalItem No. 16
TO: Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Carla Easton, P.E., Community Development Director
SUBJECT: ZONING CHANGE, 1907,1923,1933 EAST BOOTH
DATE: October 1, 2019
BACKGROUND: Skyler Burchinal, acting on behalf of Dawn M. Coulson, is asking for a
change in zoning from 2F Residential (duplex) to MF -1 Residential (multi -family up to three
stories) on three parcels located at the corner of 19th St NE and Booth St. The subject property
has varied types of residential uses in every direction. Actual zoning districts in the immediate
area include 2F, 4F, MF -1, MF -2 and even Neighborhood Services. The site includes
approximately 0.9 acres. Mr. Burchinal is proposing to build a multi -unit apartment complex on
the site.
STATUS OF ISSUE: The future land use plan calls for this site to be low-density residential.
However, a break line clearly exists along Tudor in regards both to zoning and actual
development, with everything south of that line zoned medium and high density. There is
significant multi -family zoning and development east across 20th as well. Therefore, based on
the overall neighboring properties and the proposed use, we believe this zoning change, though
technically inconsistent with the land use plan, is appropriate and can provide additional
residential development space in a non -harmful manner and location.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve a zoning change from 2F Residential to MF -l.
